40-582: Jaxsta is an Australia-based database of official music credits , including performers, artists, engineers, producers and songwriters. Jaxsta's data is content-owner supplied rather than crowd-sourced. Jaxsta was founded in Sydney in 2015 by former movie and music industry professional Jacqui Louez Schoorl and her husband Louis Schoorl , a producer and songwriter. Jaxsta has offices in Sydney and Los Angeles, with representatives in London and New York. The idea for Jaxsta

80-573: A counter-culture supplement called Core on 13 December 1969, edited by Ed Nimmervoll who had worked on Go-Set since 1966. Frazer soon decided that the "Core" material deserved a stand-alone publication for older readers, and on 1 May 1970, Go-Set Publications launched the tabloid Revolution , co-edited by Frazer and Jon Hawkes. From its fourth issue onward Revolution included a supplement of Rolling Stone pages under an agreement Frazer made with its Californian owner and publisher Jann Wenner . In August 1971 Revolution became High Times (before

120-735: A digital platform published by The Brag Media , in an exclusive licensing deal with Rolling Stone owner Penske Media Corporation. In June 2020, the magazine was acquired from the Bauer Media Group by Sydney –based investment firm Mercury Capital . The Australian version of Rolling Stone launched in May 1970 as a supplement in Revolution , a counter-culture magazine edited and published by Phillip Frazer in Melbourne as an offshoot of his teen-based pop newspaper Go-Set . Go-Set introduced

160-479: A direct hand in producing the work in question, but may have contributed funding, criticism, or encouragement to the author(s). Various schemes exist for classifying acknowledgments; Cronin et al. give the following six categories: Apart from citation , which is not usually considered to be an acknowledgment, acknowledgment of conceptual support is widely considered to be the most important for identifying intellectual debt. Some acknowledgments of financial support, on

200-453: A few local articles supplementing the major features from the parent magazine. In August 1972 Frazer launched an Australian counter-culture magazine The Digger which was published fortnightly, then monthly, and it was The Digger , and not the local edition Rolling Stone , that fostered a team of star young writers like Colin Talbot, Helen Garner, Garrie Hutchinson and Robert Adamson, who rivalled

240-467: A new look and size. Year after year, Rolling Stone Australia has made me proud. They have executed the Rolling Stone mission with style, intelligence and energy. My hat is off to everyone who has contributed to this success over the years and I look forward to even greater years to come. In 2008 the magazine averaged sales of 27,051 copies a month, down from 29,372 the year before and about 40,000 at

280-609: A star contributor alongside the copy Creswell himself generated, the magazine was now brimming with well-written local features and news stories, and incisive reviews. In 1987, owners Paul Gardiner and Jane Maitheson pulled out of the business amid mounting debts and American indifference, and the licence to publish Rolling Stone in Australia was picked up by Creswell leading a consortium he’d assembled with an old school friend, Philip Keir, and Keir's wife Lesa-Belle Furhagen. Shifting headquarters back to Sydney city, to Surry Hills right in

320-415: A year offered members access to a suite of features such as Credit and Chart Alerts, the ability to claim their profile (or the profiles of those they represent), Prioritize Your Credits, and more. In June 2022 Jaxsta's membership plans evolved to reflect the music industry's demand for accurate metadata, resulting in the introduction of a further two levels of membership: Business and Enterprise. Jaxsta Plus

360-467: Is available, providing programmatic access to the data. In November 2022 a new feature was added that matches works to recordings, allowing users of its database to secure lost royalties, source song licenses and syncs. Jaxsta was named Master of Metadata at the 2023 Music Business Association Bizzy Awards . The award recognizes significant impact data processing, credit clarification, streamlining and more. Jaxsta's business-to-business membership plan

400-665: Is sometimes a condition of licensing. For example, original versions of the BSD license controversially required credit to be provided in the advertisement for software that used licensed code, but only if features or use of the licensed software was mentioned in the advertisement. Software documentation is sometimes licensed under similar terms. For example, the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) used by Misplaced Pages requires that acknowledgments to authors be preserved.

440-530: Is standard in American English and Canadian English . However, the spelling acknowledgement is used in British English , Australian English , and other English-speaking regions. In the creative arts , credits are an acknowledgment of those who participated in the production. They are often shown at the end of movies and on CD jackets. In film , video , television , theater , etc., credits means

480-721: Is the Australian edition of the United States' Rolling Stone magazine devoted to music, politics, and popular culture, published monthly. The Australian version of Rolling Stone was initially published in 1970 as a supplement in Revolution magazine published by Monash University student Phillip Frazer . It was launched as a fully fledged magazine in 1972 by Frazer and was the longest-surviving international edition of Rolling Stone until its last issue appeared in January 2018. As of February 2019, Rolling Stone Australia returned with

520-718: The "world's only official music credits database", obtaining its metadata directly from record labels, publishers, distributors and industry associations. Its data partners include the three major labels — Universal Music Group , Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group , the Merlin Network of independent music companies and unions including the American Federation of Musicians and SAG-AFTRA , as well as independent distributors such as CDBaby , DistroKid and SoundCloud Repost. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and The Recording Academy . An API

560-494: The American Rolling Stone ’s iconoclastic reputation for New Journalism. The first edition [of Rolling Stone ] I saw was just so quirky. It was basically a tabloid format, A3-sized, folded so that it looked the size of an A4 page. It was on newsprint and because it was folded you could have the huge image on the front cover. It was very simple, it was just the essence of hipness In 1975, before Frazer left Australia for

600-567: The American edition. In addition to relying on Clinton Walker for major features and acerbic reviews, Creswell nurtured new young writers like O’Donnell and John Birmingham , who won Rolling Stone ’s campus writing contest, and had it not been for its great weakness, its Sydney-centricity – its inability to get good consistent coverage on the ground in Melbourne – the magazine would undoubtedly have been Australia's journal of record for music culture. By

640-579: The US magazine of that name), which featured Australian underground cartoons curated by co-editors Pat Woolley and Macy McFarland. Frazer left Go-Set and High Times early in 1972 and, with his business partner Geoff Watson, launched the Australian Rolling Stone as a fully fledged magazine, five years after the flagship started in the United States. Rolling Stone Australia was published fortnightly, devoted to music, politics, and popular culture, with

680-407: The United States, he closed down The Digger and sold the local Rolling Stone licence to a group of journalists led by former Financial Review writer Paul Gardiner, with Jane Mathieson and Paul Comrie Thomson. One thing this meant, perhaps most crucially, was that the magazine moved base from Melbourne to Sydney. The first Australian act on the cover was Skyhooks in 1976, who reportedly hated

720-697: The basement of the Gardiners’ home in Neutral Bay, and even as it continued to tinker, in the mid-80s, with its format, experimenting with design styles, colour and paperstock – and experimenting with a great many different contributors – it was finally starting to look like a viable competitor to RAM . In 1985, Rolling Stone published The Big Australian Rock Book , a sort of A-Z survey of then-Australian music, edited by Ed St.John and written largely by him, Bruce Elder, Toby Creswell, Clinton Walker and Andrea Jones. The final transformation began in 1986, when Toby Creswell

760-418: The cover again until Men at Work in 1983 – and that was a relayed American story. The magazine also lacked the immediacy and the team of quality contributors that made its rival RAM so much more successful in terms of relevance and quality. Certainly in no way in this phase, in the late 70s, did it develop a cast of writers the way The Digger had only a few years earlier, with only Bruce Elder staying on for

800-508: The early 90s, however, with Next Media now having bought a building of its own in southern-Sydney suburb Redfern, tensions were brewing between Phil Keir and both his wife Lesa-Belle Furhagen and Toby Creswell. The eventual result was that September 1992, saw a traumatic split, in which Creswell was escorted off the premises by security, Keir took control of the company, and Creswell and Furhagen went off together to form Terraplane Press, which launched Juice magazine. Juice aimed itself, with

840-431: The financial and individual meanings are linked. Academic papers generally contain a lengthy section of footnotes or citations . Such detailed crediting of sources provides readers with an opportunity to discover more about the cited material. It also provides a check against misquotation, as it's easy for an attributed quote to be checked when the reference is available. All of this is thought to improve integrity of

880-468: The instructional capital conveyed, which may be quite fragile, and easy to misinterpret or to misapply. In fiction writing, authors are generally expected to give credit to those who contributed significantly to a work. Sometimes authors who do not want credit for their work directly may choose to use a pen name . A ghostwriter gives all or some of the credit for his or her writing to someone else. In computer software licenses , attribution of credit

920-404: The list of actors and behind-the-scenes staff who contributed to the production. In non-fiction writing, especially academic works, it is generally considered important to give credit to sources of information and ideas. Failure to do so often gives rise to charges of plagiarism , and "piracy" of intellectual rights such as the right to receive a royalty for having written. In this sense

960-710: The local licences for UK labels Rough Trade and Factory Records, as well as signing local acts (such as Pel Mel) – meaning that in addition to Rolling Stone the office was now putting out albums by Joy Division and Cabaret Voltaire. At the same time Paul Comrie-Thompson became a sort of advisor if not manager to Chris Bailey and his band the Saints . A handful of younger writers like Ed St.John and occasional RAM contributors Toby Creswell and Clinton Walker too started freelancing for Rolling Stone and invigorating its pages. The magazine shifted from its old office in North Sydney to

1000-499: The long haul, and P.D. Jack coming and going. As the booms in local pub rock and punk rock started to take off, Rolling Stone seemed increasingly irrelevant, an imported acolyte of all things West Coast with precious little acknowledgement of the blossoming Australian scene around it. The real mark of the magazine's change came in 1980, when it shifted from a fortnightly to a monthly. Paul Gardiner partnered with art director Andrew Penhallow and founded GAP Records, which quickly acquired

1040-511: The magazine by the late 1990s, it entered into something of a phase in the wilderness, with a succession of editors and owners compromising its content and integrity in the face of a shifting pop-cultural landscape, including not least of all the rise of the internet. In 2008 Next Media Pty Ltd was purchased by Worseley Media , in a deal that saw ACP Magazines acquire Rolling Stone magazine in exchange for ACP titles Tracks and Waves . A few months later, ACP relaunched Rolling Stone , with

1080-424: The magazine enjoyed a boost in stability and success, and certainly it would outlive Juice , which despite its efforts for a decade, went down when the dot.com bubble burst in 2003. Australian Rolling Stone celebrated its 25th year with a special collector's edition in May 1998, and at that time the publishers claimed the current circulation was around 40,000. After Bail and Scatena (and Clinton Walker) had left

1120-569: The middle of a booming inner-city music circuit, and taking on staff that included most notably designer/writer David Messer, Rolling Stone was then left, after the demise of RAM in 1989, with the Australian music magazine market almost entirely to itself. In the face of competition only from the now-widespread, regionalised free street press with its preponderance of advertorial, and now with John O’Donnell as Creswell's Assistant Editor and going glossy full colour throughout, Rolling Stone entered its peak period, with its own flavor quite distinct from

1160-441: The other hand, may simply be legal formalities imposed by the granting institution. Occasionally, bits of science humor can also be found in acknowledgments. There have been some attempts to extract bibliometric indices from the acknowledgments section (also called "acknowledgments paratext ") of research papers to evaluate the impact of the acknowledged individuals, sponsors and funding agencies. The spelling acknowledgment

1200-417: The photo, but it did mark a broadening recognition of local acts in the magazine. Together Gardiner, Mathieson and Comrie-Thompson built Rolling Stone Australia up as a major player in terms of circulation, shifting about 35,000 copies each fortnight. The magazine, however, lacked consistent local content. The Skyhooks cover was the exception rather than the rule, and an Australian band would not re-appear on

1240-492: The rest of 2020 to assist the music industry during the COVID-19 pandemic . On September 10, 2020, Jaxsta came to an agreement with music licensing platform Songtradr in which the latter invested A$ 1.92 million into the company. This arrangement allowed Jaxsta members to utilise the revenue collection service provided by Songtradr, while the latter would leverage Jaxsta's metadata to identify uncollected fees. Jaxsta claims to be

1280-456: The rise of grunge in the 90s, at a slightly younger demographic than Rolling Stone , but Rolling Stone , with Kathy Bail now installed as editor, continued to offer quality coverage of Australian and global music, politics, and popular culture. Freelancer Clinton Walker was the only writer to carry over from the old regime to this new one (while he also contributed to Juice at the same time!), and when Dino Scatena came in on staff to assist Bail,

1320-405: The stars of the jackets – i.e. liner notes . The company was launched in beta mode on June 13, 2019, with the claim that it contained more than 100 million music credits, including those for 1.9 million songwriters, 1.3 million artists, 150,000 producers and 100,000 engineers. On April 22, 2020 Jaxsta announced it was waiving the $ US150 annual membership fee and making Jaxsta membership free for

1360-636: The time of its 30th anniversary issue six years previous. Its average readership in March 2008 was 301,000, compared with 296,000 a year earlier; the readership had peaked in December 1994 at 392,000. ACP was acquired by Bauer Media Group in 2012 and in 2013, the company Paper Riot, headed by Matt Coyte, bought the Rolling Stone franchise from Bauer. Under Coyte's editorship, and with the launch of its own independent website in 2014, Rolling Stone started to claw back some of its former relevance and credibility, but it

1400-493: Was an Indian Summer, and in January 2018, Paper Riot went into external administration and the last issue of Australian Rolling Stone appeared. In January 2019, it was announced that Rolling Stone would be returning to the Australian market. Commencing in 2010, the Rolling Stone Australia Awards are awarded annually in January by Rolling Stone Australia for outstanding contributions to popular culture in

1440-423: Was announced that Yates would head up Jaxsta's dedicated editorial portal. Credit (creative arts) In the creative arts and scientific literature , an acknowledgment ( British English : acknowledgement ) is an expression of a gratitude for assistance in creating an original work. Receiving credit by way of acknowledgment rather than authorship indicates that the person or organization did not have

1480-412: Was first formulated by Louez Schoorl in 2006 when she was transitioning from the film to the music industry and noticed music credits metadata was becoming lost with the transition to digital music , as the credits that had once populated vinyl record sleeve and CD booklets were vanishing as downloading was becoming more prevalent. Jaxsta derives its name from the credits on vinyl "jackets" (covers) –

1520-435: Was launched on November 21, 2019. It offered music industry specific tools such as chart alerts for artists and non-artists, industry events calendars, market insights and gave members the ability to claim and manage their Jaxsta profile page . In August 2021, to coincide with the return of paid memberships, Jaxsta introduced two levels of membership: Jaxsta Core, a free introductory membership, and Jaxsta Plus, which for $ US49

1560-460: Was made editor. Ed St.John had by now left to become a record company executive, and Creswell was a journalist steeped in the Rolling Stone ethos and tradition but crucially also possessed of a certain vision for Australian music, and it was he who shaped the magazine into its most successful and very Australian form in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Naturally it still relied heavily on its American parent for content, but with Clinton Walker especially as

1600-721: Was rebranded Creator, and Jaxsta Core became the free membership level. In November 2021, Jaxsta introduced the Jaxsta One Sheet in an effort to help music professionals create a "shareable resume". The One Sheet is pre-populated by information on the user's Jaxsta profile, including credits, social media statistics, TikTok plays, contact details, bio, image and more. In December 2019, Jaxsta launched its podcast, Humans of Music, hosted by former Rolling Stone Australia editor Rod Yates. Guests have included Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody , Billy Bragg , Bethany Cosentino , Neko Case , John Butler and M-Phazes . In June 2020, it
